Georgia Fair – Marianne feat. Lisa Mitchell/Boy & Bear (Single) (10/05/2011)
I first became aware of Sydney’s Georgia Fair a year ago when they, along with Boy & Bear, supported Lisa Mitchell on her ‘Oh Hark!’ tour. Coincidentally, all three artists feature together again on Georgia Fair’s new single, Marianne. Lead vocalist Jordan Wilson is complemented by Dave Hosking’s (Boy & Bear) resonant vocals and Mitchell’s haunting tones.
Marianne conjures up images of a hazy summer day where, just the like the single’s cover artwork, everything looks a bit sepia-toned and fuzzy-edged. If I were to fault the track, it would be because of the lack of a strong hook to break up the melody and to really get the song stuck in your head. Nevertheless, Marianne is a beautiful track from a band who show a lot of promise for the future.
